In Brazil, the agricultural sector is one of the main bases of the economy, both for agribusiness in the production of commodities for export, and for family farming in food production, both with growth prospects. Due to large exports, food production had to be faster, using pesticides and harming human and environmental health. The objective of this article is to understand the impact that the use of pesticides has on the rural population and the problems that it can cause to public health. This is an integrative literature review study, which used the VHL, LILACS and Medline as the search database. Only ten articles were found, therefore only eight were selected. These studies were published between the years 2018 and 2023. The more exposed to the pesticide, the greater the risk of developing some pathology, be it unidentified poisoning, hematological problems with an insistent cause, cancer, degenerative disease, among other causes.
